This is Erichthonios. Apologies for not being available at the moment. Pray leave a message, and I shall respond to your communication as soon as I receive it.
[ The video opens to Mitama, though just like in her recent post, she's wearing her "disguise". She's here on an important business, after all. ]
Ho, ho, ho! Thank you for joining our Secret Santa event~ It's time to find out what ─ or rather who ─ your assignment as Santa's Little Helper for this year is! Drumroll, please...
[ She makes a pause for a dramatic effect, her hand slipping into a Santa hat she's holding and pulling out a small piece of paper with a name on it. ]
It's none other than... Caitlyn Kiramman, Aldrip's local private investigator!
Remember, you should present your assignee with a gift of your choice until December 25th! Good luck, and remember: your main task is to spread joy, happiness and the spirit of Christmas cheer!
[Erichthonios knows little of the meaning behind the disguise. He supposes it may be a part of the custom... but rather than inundate her with questions, he opts to simply accept the assignment.]
My thanks. Although this custom and all that surrounds it is new to me, I do believe such kindnesses are much needed at this point.
[ She's been explaining everything related to Christmas for almost two weeks now, so she's basically a pro at it by now! ... But it does get a little repetitive, so a break from that is appreciated. ]
Oh, you're welcome~ To be honest, this particular holiday isn't even native to my country, but its themes and message are so universal, it's grown rather popular there, too! And I think we could all use something to bring us together ♪
Certainly! Oh, but please do not concern yourself with it too much~ After all, the very spirit of giving and sharing is far more important than the material possessions we're trading.
[ She wants everyone to have fun, not stress over the details! ]

He goes quiet a moment, pondering.]
...I believe I have met Caitlyn Kiramman, though I confess I know little about her. I shall have to think on what to get her.

O-oh. Well... I am sure something will come to me in time.
[Mayhap he could... find something interesting for her to investigate?]
